Bleeding the filter
- Fill the opened filter housing
with hydraulic oil up to approx.
2 cm below the top edge.
- If the oil level drops, replenish
oil again.
Slow oil level reduction of approx.
1 cm / min is normal.
- If the oil level remains stable,
slowly insert the assembled
unit with new filter element into
the housing and tighten the
cover mounting screws (A).
- Open the bleed screw (G).
- Place a transparent hose (H)
onto the bleed screw, ending in
a suitable container.
- Start the up drive engine at
idle speed.
- Close the bleed screw (G) as
soon as the oil forced through
the hose is clear and therefore
free of air bubbles.
After assembling the oil filter engine will restart, ensure vechile running remain in
place no less than 3 minutes until filter housing and hoses are full of hydraulic oil,
otherwise hydraulic oil in filter will be insufficient.
Ensure seal integrity is good after changing the filter.
